The discovery of a new explosive by the
German chemist DR.. Root, of Berlin, is al
nounced in The Paris Figaro, which gives the
following details: The roburite, as the new
explosive has been called, has been in use for
several years in the coal mines near Dert-
mund with the most satisfactory results The
only reason why it has not been adopted for
general use III the mines is that il Is too ex-
perslve, and that 1t is spoiled by any moist
urc. Tie roburite has just been introduced
into the German army, and the military au-
tborities hope to avoid the latter Inconvenience

will greatly facilitate its transport. The eff
